I'm not there yet but I had a sleeve. Can you ever eat popcorn again?

Yes, but in moderation. I first had it again around 3 mths out. When I do have it I either air pop it or buy the skinny pop brand.

Yup. It's one of the easiest things for me to eat and digest.

It's not your best choice, but really, with the sleeve, most people can eat just about anything.

I love popcorn, but I don't eat it often because I know it's empty carbs and calories. There are so many better choices out there and I'd rather make great choices MOST of the time, so I can make not so good choices once in awhile.

There is a brand called smartlife and they have a light version that is only 35 calories per cup and it is very good. I eat a cup a few times a week with my nuts blessing. For me it helps fill the void of not eating chips.< /p>

It's still high in carbohydrates. It is also a slider food for some people. popcorn should be a rare treat.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, I'm aware of the calories. I do air popcorn use very little salt and butter.

It's not the calories or the salt or the butter. :D It's the empty carbs that really aren't recommended, especially when you are in your losing stage.

Once you have figured out maintenance, have at it, but until then *I'd SUGGEST* you proceed with caution.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
